Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether mathematical problem solving abilities of students who get learning using the Brain Based Learning (BBL) approach are higher than students who get conventional learning. This type of research is Quasi experiment. The study population was students in class V SD gugus IV in Padang Utara sub-district. Sample selection is done by purposive sampling. The research sample was fifth grade students of Angkasa I Elementary School, consisting of two classes which were used as experimental class and control class. Research data is taken from test scores. The technique of analyzing research data through t-test. Students' mathematical abilities, especially mathematical problem solving, are still low. This happens because the implementation of learning is still teacher-centered. students tend to be passive and have not had the opportunity to express their opinions. One of the efforts made to improve students' mathematical problem solving ability is by applying the Brain Based Learning approach. An approach that optimizes brain understanding is naturally designed to learn so that learning can optimize diverse brain functions. Learning is carried out in small heterogeneous groups so that students share ideas and negotiate to unite opinions according to learning goals. The results showed that students' mathematical problem-solving abilities who learned using the Brain Based Learning approach were higher than students who learned with conventional approaches. This can be seen from the average value of the experimental class final test (54.99) higher than the average value of the control class (39.44). This is reinforced by the t-test that obtains the Sig. 0.001 < 0.05, H0 is rejected, meaning that BBL has a significant effect on students' mathematical problem solving abilities.
